3. Word + Inword Spacings
R+Z create gaps within words. These gaps vary in width with the variation of the following
letters, causing unpleasant irregularities. QB automatically harmonizes such gaps, and
repositions the surrounding dots, if any + necessary. Which word is easier to read?

Word-spaces: Arabic can go without spaces; one would simply understand where a word
ends and the next one starts; i.e. most letters reflect their positions. As space is
inevitable in the world of publishing, and evenly spaced Arabic is impossible, it is
recommended to find and replace all the spaces after R+Z with half spaces.
